******UPDATE NOW CLOSED FOR BUSINESS*****Salad Works is a national chain restaurant that offers a variety of salads, warm grain bowls, wraps. panini, soups, 1/2 & 1/2 platters, snacks, desserts, kids meals, and organic craft heath minded beverages. The Las Vegas Nevada location has a few patio tables outside. Inside are plenty of tables.

You order off of the menu or can do your salad “Chipotle style” and pick and choose as you like.

For my first try I pick the special that was a Hot Honey Chicken salad.

I thought it was pretty good. It’s a very large salad. It’s a mix of romaine and iceberg. There is also cucumbers, roasted red bell peppers, carrots, cubes of pepper jack cheese, crispy fried onions, hot honey chicken, and chipotle ranch dressing. It also came with a warm mini loaf of bread with butter.

I like the dressing but I do think it is too spicy for some people. The chicken isn’t bad but would be better if they warmed it up. If you want something fast food and not fancy this is a good choice.

My husband did a build your own salad.

He liked the salad but paid $7. more than my salad because he added extra things.

Salad Works- not bad – Worth a Try!

Mariscos La Lomita De Culiacan is a small casual fresh Mexican Seafood Restaurant located in North LasVegas Nevada. They don’t have a bar but will make cocktails from the kitchen. The atmosphere is loud. The TV plays loud in Spanish TV. They play loud music in the dining room and loud music also comes from the kitchen. I do warn you that English is the secondary language here. Our first server didn’t understand us and a second server came over to serve us who was bilingual. I saw a lot of Mexican seafood rolls on the menu. Each one had cream cheese in them and since my husband doesn’t care for cream cheese I had to pass on them. We tried margaritas. They seemed very strong but had little flavor….

They started us off with tostadas and salsa.

For my main I tried the mojarra fish a la diablo.

I got a large mild white fish that is reasonably fresh and cooked to perfection with a medium spicy but tasty sauce. It sits on a generous pile of rice and the plate also includes soupy refried beans and some salad. We also got white corn tortillas on the side.

My husband tried the Cameron (shrimp) culichi verde (poblano cream sauce with cheese).

This platter also comes with rice, refried beans and salad.

Prices were low and portions were very generous.

******UPDATE NOW CLOSED FOR BUSINESS*******FireRock Steakhouse is a reasonably priced American Restaurant bar and gaming type place in Las Vegas Nevada. They have a large bar inside and multiple dining areas inside. They also have an outdoor patio (that is not dog friendly).

They started us off with complimentary fresh baked soft fluffy bread and butter that was very light in texture like angel cake.

The burgers that they serve here are 8oz fresh ground daily from the steaks they serve.

I tried a jalapeño smash burger (jalapeños, banana peppers, topped with a roasted jalapeno, onion strings, jalapeño mayo, and cheddar cheese and fresh fruit as my side) I asked to leave the cheese off but it was forgotten. The server offers to have the kitchen remove the cheese….I declined that offer and ripped the cheese off myself…..Got lucky the cheese ripped off clean and my husband enjoyed adding it to his burger.

I love spicy foods but whatever kind of peppers are in here are not edible to me. After I remove the peppers I can taste the burger. The burger does have a really good beef burger taste but is very dry today….Oddly even my husband’s medium rare hangover burger is dry without any moisture to the beef…and his over easy egg was cooked hard.

These burgers should have been very good….Not sure if their beef-fat ratio is right or more probably the cook they had on just SQUISHED all the juice out of them while they were cooking?

The server took my burger off the bill since they didn’t leave the cheese off at my request.

That was my trip to FireRock Steakhouse in Las Vegas Nevada….I’d give it one more try but would get something else.***********UPDATE*****SADLY *******After my visit I read on two different websites that FireRock is closing this Las Vegas Location at the end of the month…. 🙁 Not sure if I will visit again.

Lemongrass & Lime – A Thai Bistro serves traditional, modern, and street food style Thai dishes. They have two locations in Las Vegas Nevada. One location is in Summerlin and the one we went to is in Centennial Hills. The Centennial Hills location doesn’t have a bar but wine is available.

Inside they have a mix of traditional tables, booths, and half booths.

This restaurant was awarded a Best Of Vegas for 2022 award from The Las Vegas Review Journal.

We started out by sharing mashed potato stuffed rice papers in masaman curry called, Golden Pouch.

OMG YUM!!!!!! These are truly FORKING AMAZING! WOW! I’m speechless.

The pumpkin curry with chicken is also just as delicious!

It has chicken of delicious sweet pumpkin, a red curry base, coconut milk, carrots, bell peppers and fresh basil.

My husband tried the spicy basil with combination (beef, chicken, & shrimp) with an added fried egg.

It was also delicious!

The food here comes in spice levels of one-ten. I ordered number six and that was just right for me. My husband ordered number eight and he ate it but I thought number 8 was too spicy. He said he would order #7 next time.

The food really was so delicious that I have to say-

Lemongrass & Lime – A Thai Bistro is-

Worth a Fork!

The Peppermill Restaurant & Fireside Lounge is an old time American Diner Style Restaurant located on the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada. This restaurant has been featured in many movies and many celebrities have been spotted here. They offer many of the usual diner food menu items like breakfast, appetizers, soups, salads, sandwiches, burgers, entrees, and more.

Inside is lots of neon everywhere with an energetic atmosphere.

They have many velvety booths and comfortable counter seating.

They use multi color sugar crystals that might make you fart a rainbow.

Anyways-

We started out by sharing the appetizer called, “cauli-fire.”

Perfectly fried and breaded cauliflower that was spicy and tasty that also seemed free of oil. The sauce that came with them was very tasty and was called poblano ranch. A nice tasty starter if you can handle a little heat.

While I wait for my main I observe the action in the open kitchen.

In reasonable time my berry salad arrives.

There is no mention of garlic toast coming with this salad so I don’t know if I was suppose to get it….?

I received cheesy garlic toast and a spinach salad with strawberries, red onions (that seem marinated in something sweet) sliced almonds, and tender tasty and maybe wood fired chicken breast tossed in raspberry walnut vinaigrette. The salad was suppose to contain blue cheese but the blue cheese never made it to the plate.

My husband tried the pastrami burger.

It’s a half pound burger topped with lean pastrami Swiss cheese, and a mayo-mustard sauce, pickle, and fries. I was told that it was a very good burger.

Peppermill is for when you want nothing fancy on the Las Vegas Strip. Parking is easy because they have their own parking lot.

I only read positive things about EllaEm’s Soul Food in North Las Vegas Nevada so I thought I’d give them a try. They won a “BEST OF VEGAS” by the Las Vegas Review journal and have mostly very positive reviews on Yelp. On purpose I didn’t use the restaurant name in the title of this posting because it not my intention to bring anything negative to this restaurant. My only mission is to tell……The FORKING Truth.

Everyone was welcoming and friendly when we walked in. Eventually we ordered and they started us off with a warmed up cornbread muffin with soft butter.

The cornbread muffin was very good. Moist but slightly sweet with a good corn flavor to it.

Then the meals come.

I got the grilled red snapper. Today it was a bit fishy tasting and maybe was the best part of the plate. The mixed vegetables seem like from frozen and are laced with water and nothing else. In the middle are sweet potatoes that have a texture like mush and are sweeter than any dessert out there. I have no idea on how they were able to make them sweeter than sugar. The macaroni and cheese might have been good at one time. Today it’s over done and dried up.

The country fried steak was also over done and dried up. My husband said that this isn’t the best……

Maybe they were having a bad day? ……That made my day bad too!

On the other hand it was nice that they let a lady bring in her dog in a stroller.

Awwww the dog owner and dogs are so cute together. She obviously loves her dog very much.

As much as I enjoyed the service, cornbread, and the heart melting dog moment in dining room……

For my taste I don’t expect to be going back anytime soon.

Even if I just hit them on a bad day.
